Racism On the Island

What the Jamaicans don't understand is that the Americans at the hotel see them as less human, meaning able to deal with worse conditions. What very few people understand is that there are bigot who will recoil at the word "nigger". That contempt for another race doesn't have to said to be real.

One of the reasons that hotels like Kiawah go to the trouble of getting Jamaicans in the first place is they aren't as used to racism as are African Americans. You get barely-literate people from a Third World Country you can treat them like shit and they will be happy. Jamaicans with their 90% black population just don't see the profiling and the insults. They won't be as quick to read between the lines.
